If you are reading this, you presumably have unzipped the bone_install.zip
file and you now have a 'bone_install' directory somewhere on your disk.
To install BONE, follow these steps:

1) Launch the Terminal application.

2) In Terminal, change directory to the 'bone_install' directory that you
created when you unzipped bone_install.zip. If you unzipped
bone_install.zip onto your Desktop, this command would be
something like 'cd /boot/home/Desktop/bone_install' followed by the
Enter key.

3) Type 'sh ./do_bone_install' in the Terminal and then press the Enter key.
This will run the BONE installer script.

4) The installer script will run, installing the BONE components,
copying your existing network settings, and backing up components
of the pre-BONE networking system (which is called the net_server).
After the script runs it will prompt you to press a key to reboot
the system.

If you're one of those people who wants more details on what exactly
the do_bone_install script actually does, here's a relatively complete
list:

* Replaces /system/boot/Netscript with a shell script that configures
BONE.

* Installs BONE binaries, modules, scripts, and libraries.

* Replaces libnet.so with BONE compatibility libnet.so.

* Replaces kernel and selected applications.

* Reboots machine

5) Upon reboot, your system should be up and running with BONE with
your previous network settings. The Network preferences panel is
still on your system, but will not be functional. You must use the
Boneyard preferences program to configure BONE.

HOW TO UNINSTALL BONE:

If you run into problems after installing BONE, or just want to go back to
the previous networking system, we have provided an uninstaller. The uninstaller
has not been extensively tested, but we believe it will work for most people.
To uninstall BONE, follow these steps:

1) Launch the Terminal application

2) Type 'cd /boot/home/net_switch' into the Terminal and then press the Enter key.

3) Type './setnetserver' and then press the Enter key. This program will restore
the older programs and configuration files that were on your
system before you installed BONE.

4) Reboot the machine by selecting "Restart" from the Deskbar menu.

5) Upon reboot your system should be running the old net_server networking
system again using the settings that were in place before you installed
BONE.

BETA FEATURES/DISCLAIMERS:

WARNING! Installing this beta will break printing support! The BeOS 5
printing system used some features of the net_server to provide Appletalk
support that are not available with BONE. If you need to print, don't
install BONE. The Printers preference panel will not run after BONE is
installed. We realize that this is unfortunate, but our preferred solution
entails quite a bit of additional engineering work that we cannot undertake
right now.
